About Donvale Early Learning Centre
Established in 1996, Donvale Early Learning Centre has been providing quality care for over 25 years in an inclusive, multicultural and diverse environment.
Our highly qualified and experienced team provides best practice education focused on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).
For many children this will be their first time away from family and they need to feel secure in their new surroundings. Our educators work closely with parents to ensure a happy and smooth transition. We pride ourselves on the quality of our care and the warm learning environment we provide.
A Highly Qualified Team
We have 5 Bachelor and Master degree-qualified staff across the management and teaching team. Our staff participate in regular networking and professional training courses to ensure your children benefit from the most relevant teaching practices.
3 and 4 Year Old Funded Kindergarten Programs
Our 3 and 4 year old funded kindergarten programs are delivered for 37.5 hours each week (well above the 15 hours per week standard) to provide more time for progressive play-based learning experiences that prepare children for the school years ahead.
Bilingual Kindergarten Program
As the language of choice voted by the majority of parents, we deliver a Bilingual Kindergarten program for children in the 4 year old kindergarten room for 12 hours each week. In addition to embracing the multicultural community that we operate in, learning an additional language can also help to improve children’s cognitive flexibility and problem-solving skills.

We have been a part of Donvale Early Learning Centre for a year now, and as a former early childhood educator from Hong Kong, I am extremely satisfied with the centre. If I were to offer any suggestions for improvement, I would appreciate receiving daily activity updates. Before joining this wonderful community, we had enrolled in several other centres, but this one is the only one that has truly satisfied our entire family. My daughter loves attending so much that when I tried to pick her up early, she asked me to come back later. The teachers are incredibly attentive and offer great support to parents. The activities provided are diverse and enriching, including Oriental dance , African drumming, nursing home visits, bish kinder and regular activities like cooking with chef Sherry, Sport 4 Kinder, Musical Mind, and soccer, etc.The centre also maintains a great balance between outdoor and indoor activities, ensuring that the children get the right amount of both. My daughter has learned Mandarin, Indigenous cultures, healthy habits, astronomy, geography, and more. She even surprises me by teaching me how to look for Venus in the sky, which is quite extraordinary for a 4-year-old. At her recent graduation ceremony, the children sang the national anthem and performed two other songs, which was a truly touching and proud moment. The graduation photos were also professionally taken and beautifully done. I am deeply grateful to all the teachers for their care, love, and patience. I always recommend Donvale Early Learning Centre to my friends when they move to the area. Lastly, I would like to once again sincerely thank every member of the Donvale ELC staff for their dedication and hard work. To extend a special thank you to the wonderful teachers in the Green Room—Gloria, Karen, and Anna—and to the exceptional educators in the Purple Room—Jenny, Yumi, Irene, Weiner, and Lucy.
